NEW: DOJ Drops Charges Against Man Who Brought Bionic Face Shields to Los Angeles Riots

The Justice Department on Tuesday dropped the charges against the man who brought bionic face shields to the Los Angeles riots last month.

A federal grand jury indicted the man who went viral for delivering face shields to protestors during the Los Angeles riots last month.

The man driving the truck full of supplies and bionic shields, identified as Alejandro Orellana, was indicted by a federal grand jury and charged with Conspiracy to aid and abet.

On Tuesday, US Attorney Bill Essayli moved to dismiss the indictment without prejudice.

As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported, last month a man driving a pickup truck loaded with supplies pulled up to a crowd of anti-ICE rioters.

Fox 11 LA reporter Elex Michaelson posted about what he witnessed, “#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”

WTF? PAID-FOR “bionic shields” are being trucked in for the Los Angeles rioters.

These cost around $60, each…and there are BOXES and BOXES of them being handed out.

“That’s not the kind of thing that you buy in bulk if you don’t plan on doing something with it…”

The driver tried to conceal his identity by hiding behind goggles and a face mask.
